Anything you give today, will go towards directly towards this local, community, not-for-profit event.
The majority of community events rely heavily on volunteers who give hours and hours of their time to put on these free-to-attend days of entertainment, with the focus on community engagement opportunities and community cohesion.
Getting to know your neighbours, meeting with your friends and supporting local businesses and services is often a key focus. Our community has a great deal to offer; from reducing isolation to activities that promote wellbeing. We actively promote all these services at our events.
Over the years we have seen the costs go up, the sponsorship go down and the red tape increase. We are often kindly supported by various grant funders, and a limited amount of commercial income, but this is only a very small percentage, the rest is down to the kind support of small businesses who we ask to give us money. It is exhausting and can take the fun away from the organisation.
Please help us and we shall keep doing what we do and do it better!
We cannot lose the legacy of community events, for your children and your children's children.
Some of these community events have a history of more than 180 years, let's not end them now due to lack of support.
Thank you so much for your support!
